Trying to get this to be blank when no data has been entered. Currently, if there is no data put in yet it puts up an L

=IF(A2="","",IF(A2>2500,"H","L"))

any help on this will be great.
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
It's no clear in which way the formula you have does not satisfy.

But, expecting numeric data in A2, the following would be more appropriate:

=IF(ISNUMBER(A2),IF(A2>2500,"H","L"),"")

How does that differ from what you already had, i.e. =IF(A2="","",IF(A2>2500,"H","L")) ?

yeah, it looks like I had it right but it was not working for me but then when I copy and paste what he wrote it worked I must have had an error some how when I typed it in. my mistake
